MH-5001 User Manual
25.1 Demands
The WAN load balancer module consists of outbound load balancing and inbound load balancing. Users may want to subscribe
multiple WAN links and make their outbound traffic load-balanced among the WAN links. MH-5001 now supports outbound
WAN load balancing. Inbound load balancing will be supported in a very near future.
25.2 Objectives
The traffic from LAN_1 and LAN_2 towards the Internet are intelligently outbound load-balanced between the WAN links.
However, traffic from DMZ_1 towards the Internet will be decided by the inbound load balancing module.
25.3 Methods
The outbound WAN load balancer module will intelligently decide whether the new connection will be directed to which WAN
link. It has a built-in fuzzy intelligence that will measure the round-trip delay of the traffic and make the best route selection.
This chapter introduces Load Balancer and explains how to implement it.
